Patient's question:
The baby is now four months old, but the hair is particularly yellow and the baby has been very fussy. My mother-in-law says the child is anemic. I don't know how to treat it, so I would like to ask if a four-month-old baby with anemia...Doctor's answer:
Anemia is determined by checking the HBG content, which falls under the category of nucleated cells and cannot reveal anemia. The baby might have a slight cold or viral infection. The most common cause of anemia in babies is nutritional iron deficiency anemia, which requires iron supplementation. Iron supplementation should be accompanied by oral vitamin C to promote iron absorption. Breastfeeding mothers should consume more lean meat, animal liver, and other iron-rich foods in their diet, ensuring a balanced and nutritious diet without picky or biased eating habits.
